Anthropology is the study of contemporary human cultural lives in comparative perspective. Such an approach enables anthropologists to examine key global challenges and events, like climate change and xenophobia, as well as how government policies, technologies, and products and services are incorporated into people’s lives. Designed for those whose work or interest is in understanding people in specific contexts, this program equips students with the necessary critical thinking and applied skills to undertake analysis of human lives in cross-cultural perspective. It introduces ethnography as the characteristic approach to anthropological research, as well as its application to a range of interdisciplinary fields. The Graduate Certificate in Cross-Cultural Analysis will introduce students to Indigenous knowledges, gender analysis, and global multicultural contexts.
Ethnographic research is now used as an indispensable research methodology in fields as disparate as business management, design, development, anthropology, and public policy. This Graduate Certificate can be completed as a stand alone award, or as a pathway into the Master of Anthropology and Planetary Futures (MAPF). This program is available on a full-time or part-time basis.
